Intro Log: Don't Wake Tonberry

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for September
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: September 10th-13th
Warnings: Cute monsters, a way to pass the time, and plenty of newbies!

Waking up in Hadriel certainly has its down sides, but if this weird murdercave city is good at one thing, it's keeping people entertained. As you awaken on the hard ground of the colosseum, you might see a rectangular cardboard box lying near you. Ignore it for now, as you get your bearings, but if you get bored? Well, you'll find these exciting and unique board games will keep you entertained!

But how could you possibly get bored, when there are plenty of cute monsters around to keep you company? Sharing the colosseum with all the new arrivals are Tonberries. In addition to their natural cuteness defense, they also carry very large knives. They're slow-moving and look innocent and even friendly, but be careful - one strike from that knife and you'll be a bloody mess. They won't attack unless you get too close, but who doesn't want to hug a Tonberry? And of course, if you attack, they'll counter with extreme prejudice.

Managed to resist the urge to hug a Tonberry? Safely escaped from the clutches of the colosseum, new board game in tow? Awesome! Feel free to go explore the rest of the city! Find a house, find a new monster, or simply scavenge for supplies. Good luck, and enjoy your stay in Hadriel!

Rashid.

[Curtis waits until the man starts to walk, and then he tucks his arm up against his chest, keeping pace. He’s counting his steps, looking for anything around them to mark the path they’re taking so he can memorize the layout of this place.]

What happened to you, if I can ask that?

[Maybe he doesn’t want to share. It wouldn’t bother him any if he didn’t want to.]

[turbulentwind]

It's kind of a dumb story, actually.

When I got here last month, I was greeted by a bunch of monsters at the Colosseum. Cut to today, when I made the stupid decision to check it out again. But instead of scary monsters who could turn invisible, they had these weirdly cute creatures.

I tried to talk to one, and it stabbed me with a chef's knife.

[furthered]

[He doubted it would be a dumb story.]

That’s a hard lesson to learn. They might have been friendly.

[Curtis had seen those creatures in the Colosseum but blood loss and a heavy dose of suspicion had him leaving quickly without any investigating the situation.]

Do you know if the doctors here can help us both?

[turbulentwind]

Yeah, no kidding. Never trust any of the creatures in the Colosseum.

I hope so. Haven't needed to visit one since I got here.

[There has to be a couple of doctors floating around, right?]

[furthered]

What's it like here?

[Monsters and waking up in a Colosseum didn't give him much confidence.]

People or places I should avoid?

[turbulentwind]

Nah, the people are pretty cool here. No one's really mean or bad, at least not to me.

The places... I was told to steer clear of the caves. Lots of monsters in that area. I still want to check it out, just for completion's sake.

[furthered]

After we get patched up we should check out the caves.

[Curtis isn’t one to idle unless sitting around is the smartest thing to do. It’s not here.]

Well. We should do it soon.

[turbulentwind]

[There's a bit of a smile that comes off as somewhat nervous. He did plan on investigating the caves more completely, but not so soon. The trip to the edge was enough.]

I guess we could go, but we are going at full strength. Who knows what lurks there.

[furthered]

Not too soon. Wouldn't wanna pass out on you.

[Which he's not entirely sure won't do. Not even now.]

We getting close?

[turbulentwind]

Almost there, I think.

[The blood loss might be going to Rashid's head because he doesn't remember the Colosseum being this big.]

Should be a couple minutes more.
